The Spent fluid jar will slowly fill with nylon thread
and used cleaning solution. When the jar is
approximately half full, remove the jar and dispose of
the fluid. Cut the nylon thread with scissors to a
length of about 3 inches. Wash the bottle before
reinstalling.
To open the jar grasp the metal top lid firmly and twist anti-clockwise. Do not use a tool to pry the jar open!

Be sure to wash your fluid spreading brush periodically with warm water and mild detergent to remove pollutants that may reside in a dirty
brush.
●
Make sure the roll of nylon thread is free to turn. Slack in the roll will assure fresh thread is pulled into the vacuum tube.
●
The nylon thread is 50 meters long. Using approximately ¼ inch per record cleaning will yield many thousands of cleanings from a spool.
Replace the spool when the thread is about to run out. Tie a tight knot in the remaining thread to the new spool to avoid having to lace the
new thread through the delivery and evacuation tubes. Cut off the end strands with a pair of scissors so the knot will easily pass through the
tubes and vacuum nozzle.
●
The thread used with the Loricraft Audio machine is #30 un-calendared nylon, and not cotton. Please use the recommended replacement
thread for best results.

When you clean a record on the machine do not let it sit on the machine for an extended time. Dust and dirt will collect again. It is best to
place the record in a protective anti-static record sleeve until you wish to play the record.
If you use a "gooseneck" lamp positioned over the
cleaning machine you will clearly see the dust,
fingerprints, paper flecks, and dirt on the record.
Often normal room lighting will not clearly reveal the
contamination on the record.
If you lose the tread when changing to a new roll, do not
fret! Here is a quick (about one minute) and easy way to re-
thread the vacuum arm. This

The Loricraft Audio Record Cleaning System provides the
very best cleaning results of any machine, even products
costing more than twice as much. Once a record has been
cleaned on the Loricraft it rarely has to be cleaned again.
